At the Bottom of the Garden: The Caffeaus of Villa Albani

This paper addresses the history and design of a pavilion at the Villa Albani in Rome.Built in 1764 by the architect Carlo Marchionni, possibly to a design by the client, the antiquarian Cardinal Alessandro Albani, this is a caffeaus (or coffee house, to offer a rough translation) featuring an eleven-bay semi-circular portico of Doric order.The tak

Experimental and Numerical Simulation Research on Different Shapes of Flame-Stabilizing Baffles in the Furnace

The use of fully premixed combustion in small gas boilers can improve denitrification efficiency.On the basis of fully premixed combustion, adding flame stabilizers inside the boiler can further reduce production of oxides of nitrogen.Four types of flame-stabilizing baffles were added at a certain position inside the furnace after the fully premixe

Modeling and Analysis of the Two-Dimensional Axisymmetric Acoustofluidic Fields in the Probe-Type and Substrate-Type Ultrasonic Micro/Nano Manipulation Systems

The probe-type and substrate-type ultrasonic micro/nano manipulation systems have proven to be two kinds of powerful tools for manipulating micro/nanoscale materials.Numerical simulations of acoustofluidic fields in these two kinds of systems can not only be used to explain and analyze the physical mechanisms of experimental phenomena, but also pro
